Unknown env config "nodegit-binary-host-mirror". This will stop working in the next major version of npm.

Hi,

I'm using nodegit, which uses node-gyp to include the platform specific binaries. In my organization, I have in my .npmrc, an override for nodegit_binary_host_mirror to set the location to point to my custom repository. Using npm v11.3.0, I started getting Unknown env config "nodegit-binary-host-mirror". This will stop working in the next major version of npm. My understanding is this is a feature of node-gyp to allow for overriding the binary location. Is there an alternative being discussed?

Thanks,
Rob
